Not all Nigerian used cars are bad.

I hate the term because it should be unregistered tokunbo cars/unregistered tokunbo cars bought for resale in Nigeria versus Nigerian registered cars, and where is why? If it has been driven on Nigerian soil, it is Nigerian used, including tokunbo, unless it was brought in a flatbed truck and never started, and never driven on Nigerian soil, but if it has been driven on Nigerian soil, then for God's sake it has been used in Nigerian and so is Nigerian used.

I personally got one that rocks.

Truth be told, age does things to cars, things often need to be changed, (sometimes minor sometimes major) many users are not ready to replace worn components, and want to pass the bill on.

Which is why it is extremely unreasonable to buy a car at say 1,000,000.00 and then want to sell it at the same price after using it for 3 to 5 to 7 years instead of selling it at say 300,000 to 500,000.00 so that the new owner can use his funds to replace what needs to be replaced. But you know that never happens, as several testimonies on nairaland can testify.

Have I replaced minor components? Yes. E.g., engine mounts, radiator hoses, cooling lines, window regulators, door handles, spark plugs, tires, ignition coils, brake pads, brake disks, brake fluid hoses due to wear and tear or leakage or mechanic failure to secure from abrasion, tie rods, tie rod ends, radiator fans both the blades and the motors, strut and shocks, hubs, distributor, rear springs that work with shocks, shafts, air filters, belts, speed sensors, MAF, oxygen sensors, wiper blades, strut mount and bearings, lower control arms, thermostat, water pump, alternator, belt tensioner assembly, sway bay links, sway bar bushings, power steering pump, A/C condenser, fuel pump assembly , muffler

Have I replaced major components? Yes. E.g., transmission, engine, catalytic converter, suspension sub-frame is a pending replacement which I will do early in the near year

The point am trying to make is this, several components (major and minor) have a service life. Even if you engage a specialist mechanic and he does not have a checklist, you are in big trouble. And if you do engage a specialist mechanic, you still need to troll the forums for the vehicle of your choice and create your own checklist, so you can query the professional intelligently.

He is not God for goodness sake. He can overlook, he can ignore, and he will not give your project all the time in the world, when he has lots of jobs waiting for him. The only way to be sure he has done a good job is to do your own homework, so the issue is this, trust but verify. Acts 17:11 as contained in the New International Version reads: "Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true."

And unless no one else has used that vehicle, its issues should be somewhere on the internet waiting for you to find them.

Should I blame the former owner? No, I got the vehicle at 80,000 miles, it is now 180,000 miles. That is quiet a distance and things have got to break, and someone has got to fix them, so please don't buy a used car in Nigeria at a price that does not make provisions for replacing all the above and more if it is a 4wd.

Now imagine that it is a luxury vehicle that I bought, I will pay luxury prices for all the above.

And there is nothing to prove that you cannot buy a unregistered tokunbo cars/unregistered tokunbo cars bought for resale with a bad maintenance history and still have to go through hell.

I intend to get a Nigeria-used car. But with what Op have experienced, am having a second thought about it. Though my budget is not much.
